Kinetic bombardment

Kinetic bombardment is a way of bombing a target without using weapons like bombs or missiles. It involves using giant cannon-like machines to shoot metal objects (called kinetic penetrators) at high speeds onto a target area. The metal objects travel at such a high speed that when they hit the ground, they can cause huge damage to buildings and people. Think of it like throwing a rock at a window - but much faster and much bigger!
